Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly and a method for separation of gas-containing liquids handled in a process industry. The invention is characterized in that, for the separation of entrained gas, particularly air (9), or partial removal thereof, from a liquid flow (7), the apparatus includes a liquid-flow guide (2) adapted substantially close to the lower end of an inlet pipe (1) discharging the gas-containing liquid into a container.
Claims13
An assembly for separation of gas-containing liquids handled in a process industry, characterized in that, for the separation or partial removal of liquid-entrained gas, particularly air (9), from a liquid flow (7), the assembly comprises a liquid-flow guide (2) adapted substantially close to the lower end of an inlet pipe (1) discharging the gas-containing liquid into a container.
The assembly of claims 14, characterized in that the flow guide (2) is shaped so as to guide the air-containing liquid flow (7) essentially upward toward the surface of the liquid level.
A method for separation of gas-containing liquids handled in a process industry, characterized in that, in the method for separation of gas-containing liquids particularly free from air (9), the gas-containing liquid is directed to impinge on a liquid-flow guide (2) adapted to the lower end of an inlet pipe (1) discharging the gas-containing liquid into a container, thus accomplishing enhanced separation of air (9) from the liquid flow (7).
